Daredevil Free Climber Scales
A daredevil free climber successfully scaled a 1,280-foot crane in Dubai, only to find its surface coated in grease.
The unidentified individual tackled the towering structure as a personal challenge, ascending its steel frame without any safety gear.
Partway up, they discovered the crane had been deliberately greased—likely to deter unauthorized climbers.
Undeterred by the slick conditions, the climber adapted their grip and technique to avoid slipping.
The stunt highlights the extreme risks of urban free climbing, especially on structures not built for such use.
Dubai has seen similar climbs before, often resulting in arrests over safety violations.
Authorities have not commented on the incident, which serves as a stark reminder of both the physical dangers and legal repercussions involved.
